Abhay Kumar Dubey’s Column- Hindi is Rapidly Becoming the Country’s Communication Language | Abhay Kumar Dubey’s column: Rapid contact of the country- Hindi is becoming Hindi

If I ask the question whether there can be a movement against Hindi in Maharashtra, people will be surprised at my general knowledge. Why not be, a few days ago, the state government has withdrawn its Hindi decision due to the threat of agitation by Thackeray brothers. But just think, if today Bal Gangadhar Tilak had been there, would he have believed in his eyes and eyes?

And what would Madhavrao Sapre, the editor of the newspaper “Hindi Kesari”, who had taken out? Apart from Sapreji, Baburao Vishnu Paradkar (who gave Hindi words like Shri, Mrs., President, Inflation), Laxman Narayan Garde, Rahul Barpute-like famous Marathi-speaking Hindi editors, has been prepared by the same review of journalists. Between the 11th and 17th centuries, the Marathi -speaking region had entered the court.

This Marathi-Hindi equation goes to Shahaji Bhonsle, his great son Chhatrapati Shivaji (in whose name Shiv Sena does politics), his son Shambhaji and then the Peshwas who occupy Delhi. His courts were full of famous Hindi poets, in which Bhushan and Mataram’s names even know the initial students of Hindi.

Who does not know that 80% of Hindi and Marathi have the same word wealth? The grammar system is the same. Both languages ​​are written in the same script. The prosperous devotional chapter of North India is the result of saint poets like Namdev from Maharashtra and the movement of Maharashtra and the “reform” movement is the result of the contribution of Kabirpanthis, Naths and Siddhas.

I can also give many such facts about Tamil-area, which has been a stronghold of opposition from 1930. The contradiction is that Premchand’s stories in the thirtys and his novel “Sevasadan ‘made a splash in Tamil Nadu continued as an extraordinary popularity among the Tamil readers of” Kamayani’, “Autobiography of Banabhatta”, “Neela Chand” and “Raga Darbari ‘of” Raga Darbari’.

The entire Tamil-region is filled with offices of South Indian Hindi propagation meetings established by Gandhi. There have been two fierce anti -Hindi movements, but despite their abundant violence and arson, a stone was never thrown at these offices.

It is an established fact of the social language scripture of India that the current form of Hindi was composed with a national-cultural purpose. This was to create a railway junction called Hindi to connect the highly rich linguistic diversity of a continent, to stop the trains of all languages ​​on a huge platform and their passengers could meet each other.

In the sixties itself, Baldev Raj Nair did this classical formulation in his article “Hindi Age Link Language”. Nair showed that Hindi could develop as an all-India contact-language. Non-Hindi litterateurs who do not give up the literary reputation of Hindi are also pressurizing Sahitya Akademi for publication of his compositions.

They want to sell in the Hindi field. If someone wants to publish a Malayalam novel in Punjabi, he can reach the readers there by Punjabiization of its Hindi translation. Nair noticed that Hindi is becoming an agency of literary exchange among various Indian languages.

The presence of Hindi in all parts of the country is the result of a long -term historical process rather than a government order. Workers who do not know English in Odisha’s Rourkela Steel Plant talk in Hindi and not in Odia. The universalism of Mumbai has adopted Hindi as a language.

Hindi, Malayalam, Bengali, Tamil and Telugu speaking people living in Andaman have made Hindi their language for mutual contact. Due to Hindi films, the level of Hindi-Janakari of people has also increased. The song and music of films to be broadcast by Radio Ceylon and Vividh Bharati were credited with the spread of this language. Whatever opposition to Hindi continues due to politics, it has moved towards becoming an all-India contact language in the social sector. By ignoring this reality, we can only do our loss.
